SET technology is the result of a cold-working process that permanently deforms the pipe without any additional heat. The procedure inherent to expanding tubulars takes the steel beyond its elastic limit into the plastic region of the stress-strain curve, while remaining safely below ultimate...

A major Operator in the Marcellus required a solution to seal squeeze perforations which would have to withstand high pressure frac operations. The area Regulatory Agency had suspended operations, not allowing completion of the well due to poor cement behind the production casing. The Operator...

An Operator in the West Virginia Marcellus Shale required a cost-effective solution to seal off old perforations to enable high-pressure refrac operations. The ESeal RF Liner was successfully installed in the horizontal wellbore and tested to 9,500 psi.

Abstract

Since its inception in the late nineties, solid expandable tubular technology has saved major and independent operators significant capital whether used in drilling operations or in workover projects. In drilling operations, these systems are used as a contingency string and...
